The students in their speeches said that in the period of illiteracy and backwardness in the Arab world our Holy Prophet (PBUH) founded an Islamic society with the ideology based on human equality, brotherhood and peaceful coexistence. Citing an example from the Last Sermon of Our Holy Prophet (PBUH), the students said that in it, the equal rights had been given to women and differences on caste, creed, colour and ethnicity have also been called against the brotherhood and humanity. The most important part of Eid Milad-un-Nabi celebration is to understand and follow the character of the Prophet (SAW) ---his (SAW) teachings, sufferings and how he (SAW) forgave his bitter enemies.
